Hélène Hendriks warns Victor Vlam to keep a sufficient distance from famous Dutch people, especially now that he regularly pops up in talk shows of the Oranjezomer. “Don’t become a everyone -friendly.”
It is something that is inevitable: who is structurally hanging around as a TV critic in talk show studios, sooner or later becomes entangled in the BN’er ecosystem. You eat together, have a chat a chat, see the same faces time and time again. Before you know it, you are no longer the sharp outsider, but a Shownieuws expert in Spe.
Hélène about Victor
Hélène Hendriks still finds media accorus Victor Vlam sharp, but thinks he has to look after. “His greatest talent is that with a steel face he can say what he finds and all of Vilein – or complimented – dares to say everything about someone,” she says in the New Revu.
“He does not take into account how he comes across as socially desirable, but he just says what comes to him. A great power of him is that he does not talk to flour in his mouth. He says indiscriminately what he finds. It is quite difficult to find people like that in the television world.”
“Be careful!”
Hélène does have a serious tip for Victor. “He must now think that he keeps a sufficient distance from the famous Dutch people, so that he can retain his independence and continue to talk freely. He should not become a everyone -friendly.”
“Whether I am his discoverer? I was not on TV before, but I was charmed by his podcast the communicados and since he is a communication expert, I assumed that he could talk well. And that also turns out: you hardly belong to him and AHs. I always like him.”
